VIDEO DESCRIPTION – This painting tutorial will take you through easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions on how to paint this adorable, sweet spring country image of “BUNNY AND BUTTERFLY”. You'll learn basic painting and drawing tips and techniques that will have you painting a realistic wildlife landscape of a spring meadow filled with blooming wild colorful pansies, a precious rabbit and stunning monarch butterfly. Set in front of a backdrop of a sunshine drenched field and long woodland quiet grassy knoll, the curiosity of the young hare glancing at the bold flying insect tenders a captivating story. With the adorable Bugs Bunny eyes and beautiful fluffy fur, this cute and curious rodent will surely bring a smile to your face. The first lesson you’ll learn in this animal portrait tutorial is how to paint atmospheric dimension in the out-of-focus bokeh background using a circular blending technique with light pressure to transition the colors into one another with the intent on creating a happy mood with complimentary colors that will set the stage for this imaginary tale, then, after drawing an easy outline to give form and structure to both of your main characters, you will apply a simple basecoat to your insect and animal. For your Easter bunny, you will then create realistic looking dimension with properly placed highlights and shadows, followed by layering colors to give form to the body and texture to the fur that will create a 3-d photo realistic quality to the image. For your delicate and dainty winged creature, you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to make it come alive with just a few colors, carefree brush strokes, clean outlines and polka dots. Finally, the flowers will appear to pop off the canvas with the use of bright and inviting shades of purple, yellow and black using an impressionistic painting style. Not only will this acrylic art lesson provide you with a solid learning experience, but it will also afford you the opportunity to create a masterpiece artwork just in time for Easter, the most important Christian festival where Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Bible says that Christ died on the cross on a day called Good Friday, and, according to the Bible, Jesus was then resurrected and came back to life on Easter Sunday. This captivating image just might inspire you to create other elements fit for this annual holiday, such as, Easter Eggs, a basket, dogwood trees, a cross, palm branches, Paschal Candle or any other meaningful or sentimental symbols. You can even paint different flowers that you love like tulips, roses, lilies, or daisies, whatever fits your fancy, or a different animal like a squirrel, chipmunk, baby deer or hummingbird.
